Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 kg (3lbs) shrimp (deveined but shell and head on)
2 tbsp cajun spice
1 tbsp lemon pepper
2 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
250 g (2 sticks) butter
10 garlic cloves (crushed )
3-4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp cajun spice
1 tsp chilli flakes
½ cup cream ((heavy or whipping) )

Steps:

  • If your prawns haven't been deveined, use a sharp pair of kitchen scissors and make a long incision down the length of the back then remove the vein.
  • Place the prawns in a large bowl. Pour over the oil and season with the cajun spice, lemon pepper and salt. Mix well to ensure all the prawns are evenly coated.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large pot (the pot needs to be big enough to toss all the prawns in once they are cooked) and add the garlic, lemon juice and spices.
  • Allow to cook for a minute until fragrant then pour in the cream. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly. The sauce needs to be a little too lemony and very well seasoned. Once the prawns are added, the sauce will mellow a bit.
  • Preheat the grill for 10-15 minutes. I prefer using an outdoor grill/braai/barbecue as the smoke adds incredible flavor to the shrimp once cooked but you can use a griddle pan too.
  • Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they are coral/orange in color. As the prawns cook, add them to the pot with the sauce.
  • Once all the prawns have been added, toss to coat the prawns in the sauce.
  • Serve over rice or with crusty bread and extra lemon wedges.

DELICIOUS GRILLED PRAWNS



Delicious Grilled Prawns image

Prawns grilled in buttery chili sauce. This is divine. Do try and marinate for several hours it really brings out the flavour although I have made it immediately it is still delicious. Originally taken out of the Indian delights. Because of its high butter content we always have it on special occasions.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 kg prawns (try to use queen or big ones always better for grilling)
125 g butter (no substitutes)
10 ml freshly crushed garlic

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

25 ml chili sauce

  • Marinate the prawns in HALF of this marinade for several hours. 2-4hrs is sufficient. (I sometimes add all the sauce if I want it saucy).
  • Place prawns in oven tray and grill till done on 180°C tossing them at intervals.
  • Heat the rest of the marinade until thickens into a sauce pour some of the sauce over the grilling prawns and use the rest as a dipping sauce for prawns. Serve hot. Serve with savoury rice and a salad. You can also substitute prawns with shrimp.
